From what I understand, it is a voluntary program, and there is nothing that can be done to make a company pay it. I have not heard of any companies pay this, even if they already have bike comuting programs in place. Dont hold your breath.

We've been harassing the relevant person about it where I work, but apparently nothings going to happen. He explained that it isn't actually $20 from the government as many people perceive it but rather that the company can deduct $20 from its taxable income, which means that the company actually ends up paying about $15 of this. And so, he says, with the economy being what it is....ask again later.
